Question

In my main method I have the code..

    String FactoredForm = FactoredForm.getFF(gcd1, gcd2, a, hii);

And the FactoredForm class is:

public class FactoredForm {
public static String forName(int l, int o, int a, int hii) {
    // (lx+o)(mx+p      
    String FF1, FF2;
    if (o > 0){
        FF1 = ("(" + l + "x+" + o + ")");
    }
    else{
        FF1 = ("(" + l + "x" + o + ")");
    }
    if (hii/o > 0){
        FF2 = ("(" + a/l + "x+" + hii/o + ")");
    }
    else{
        FF2 = ("(" + a/l + "x" + hii/o + ")");
    }
    String FactoredForm = (FF1+FF2);


    return FactoredForm;
}
}

I get the error that the method getFF is undefined for the type String. Am I missing something?

You can’t have the String name same as the class name. That’s causing the error.
